Expert Reply:
The Thule Force XT XXL # TH6359B will fit most factory crossbars. It does require crossbars to be a maximum of 3-1/2 inches wide and maximum of 1-11/16 inches tall. The crossbar spread from center to center needs to be between 23-5/8 inch center to center and 37-1/2 inches.
The clearance of your rear antenna depends on your roof rack itself. The Thule Force XXL will sit about flush with your factory crossbars so if your crossbars are higher than your antenna, you won't have an issue. If it is higher, than the fit will depend on how close to the hatch the antenna sits. For the hatch to fully open, there must be at least 54-3/4 inches from the front crossbar to where the roof and hatch meet.
You may also want to consider the Wheel Step - Tire Mounted # PT68ZR for easy loading and unloading.
